ChorusI am not afraid to stand alone... I am not afraid to stand alone... If Allah is by my sideI am not afraid to stand alone... Everything will beAlrightI am not afraid to stand alone... Gonna keep my head upHigh

Single mother raising her childrenNow she's a MuslimStarted praying and wearing a headscarfWas a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean onBut with prayer she would be strongGot a job but then she was laid offGot a better education and it paid off

Got a call for a job that she dreamed ofClose by, great pay -she was in love - they said... They brought her in, said she's the number one pickYou got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit"

It's a tough position that they put me inCause I've been struggling with my two childrenBut I'll continue looking for a job againMy faith in my religion now will never bend

Chorus

Peer pressure, they were insistingAnd I was resistingSome days I felt I would give inJust wanted to fit in

I know when I'm praying and fasting'They be teasing and laughingSo I called to my Lord for the powerFor the strength every day, every hour...

Then one day there's a new Muslim teacherSingle mom and the people respect herJust seeing her strength I get strongerThey can break my will no longer

You don't see me sweating when they're jokes'reCrackingNever see me cussing' with my pants saggin'I aint never running yo I'm still standingI ride with Allah to the very end

Chorus

I am not afraid to stand alone...

Now, I'm a tough one, who can bear their blowsThe rest play dumb, they don't dare say noScared of being shunned, but it's clear they knowI aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more...

Man, these sisters be resoluteNever stressed when the rest say they wasn't cuteAnd the get the respect of the other youthCome best with the dress yo and that's the truth
